Chapter 625: Inappropriate Alternatives

Of course, just the interest of some banks, on the Hollywood side, can only be regarded as the lowest-end skills, which is what those Hollywood bosses who have no way to do, and those high-end bosses who have access to do the same thing as using other people's money to make their own money. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut what they do is more high-end than these bosses.
The interest rate of some banks is far from satisfying the appetite of these Hollywood bosses, who will take out these temporarily seized funds of others and invest them, hand them over to venture capital, or hand them over to hedge funds, or even directly enter the futures or stock market, and use other people's money to make more money for themselves.
The giant companies in Hollywood have very high debts, and their profits are usually very low, unless there are special circumstances, they will make their earnings statements look better, otherwise, their stocks are generally maintained in a relatively low-end position. Therefore, the stock market in the United States, especially the stocks of Hollywood companies, retail investors do not buy a lot, either to become shareholders or to be their own bosses, and the stocks of film companies are not so popular, because the investment profitability and return rate are not so ideal.
It stands to reason that many companies in Hollywood are very profitable, and there should be no such situation, but these guys here want to get excess returns, and they don't even let go of the money of small households. Because they know how greedy these guys really are. The investment is high, but the rate of return is a pitfall, and from time to time there are some losses, it is better to stay in the bank than to put money in Hollywood. It's just too normal for the boss here to play such a routine.
Therefore, the matter on the Hollywood side, in the terminology of the mainland, is that the triangular debt is very serious, and it has endangered the health of the entire industry. But the boss here is still happy to do such a thing. This is basically the clear rule on the Hollywood side, and people who don't understand this situation basically have no future in Hollywood.
Companies like Li Mingbao's Dream Factory, which often have such abundant cash flow, are definitely the outliers among the outliers. But he is an outlier, but he still has to abide by the rules of Hollywood, you can not owe money to others, but others owe you money, you can't talk too much, you can do what you want. Speaking of hooligans, the hooligans on the Hollywood side are not much inferior to the gang on Wall Street, they are all a group of people who pursue the highest profits, and no one wants to say that no one is not.
That is, because DreamWorks has no foreign debts, and DreamWorks has a lot of foreign debts from other companies, so the people on Wall Street have always been very greedy for Li Mingbao's DreamWorks, and they dare not accept other companies, who knows if it will become a big hole if it is recovered? There is only a company with clear debts like Li Mingbao DreamWorks, and the evaluation given by Wall Street will be so high, directly to a height close to the market value of the movie giants on the Hollywood side.
It's not because they want to praise Li Mingbao's Dream Factory, Li Mingbao and their friendship has not yet reached that point, just because DreamWorks is not a big hole here, other industry bigwigs who really have the heart to develop in the film industry, starting DreamWorks is the wisest choice in Hollywood, even those giant companies, in terms of health, are not as good as DreamWorks, so it's no wonder that they will charge high prices.
The evaluation of giant companies on Wall Street is not too high, and only the wronged boss will like to accept a giant company, and no one in the United States will like the giants of Hollywood, because they know that these giants, each of which is a bottomless pit, and no amount of money is put into it, and it has little effect. It's like the most rogue MGM, don't look at how brilliant he used to be, but now, he is a big pit, whoever jumps into it, don't want to climb out, and in history, it is true, every new consortium that owns MGM, in the end, is either cut meat, or the vitality is greatly damaged, anyway, don't want to make money from MGM, and the real money is still the people on the Hollywood side, or the actual controller of MGM, those of them really sold MGM, and also have the power to control MGM.
Li Mingbao doesn't want to be the kind of person who pursues perfect interests, but he also doesn't want to be treated as a fool, this time to send money to John and Murdoch, in fact, it is also an attempt, after all, if DreamWorks has been in the name of an outlier in the future, it will have some impact on the company, and he doesn't want to make new rules on the Hollywood side, so it is necessary to change the state of DreamWorks appropriately.
Originally, DreamWorks was to be sold, and the higher the price on Wall Street, the more beneficial it would be for Li Mingbao, but now that DreamWorks is not selling, the evaluation on Wall Street does not need to be so high at all.
"In other companies, we don't need the money for the time being, just the cost of the patent, we can solve the problem, so the money is put there, just follow the rules. Withdraw some more money from DreamWorks, and John will have an explanation from them. The profit of the film company is good, but what about the situation of the program production company? Is it profitable? Since Li Mingbao can't change the rules of Hollywood, he acquiesces in these things, anyway, as long as it doesn't affect his own general policy, then he doesn't have any benefit from being too jumpy.
"On the TV production company's side, it's been growing very rapidly lately. But in terms of profit, it will take a while to make a profit, when it really breaks out, it should be next year, now, what is needed over there is not to extract funds, but to continue to make additional investment, after all, the boss you got those plans are really all realized, the amount of funds needed, is not a small amount, although Mr. Murdoch will also make a sum of money, but the boss you also need additional investment, although the profit over there is now, but it has not reached our hands, even if it is a profit in hand, It has also been continuously invested in the development of the program production company.
So now on the TV production company's side, boss, you don't want to get any money, unless you sell the rights in some places, then the investment can quickly pay off, and you can make a lot of money. Mary began.
"This is in my expectation, if you want to make money, especially to make a lot of money, we must be willing to invest, without a good investment environment, you will not be able to produce high profits, about this, you have to make it clear to the people over there.
Making money is our ultimate goal, but how to make money is not up to them. Whoever sells the copyright cheaply will have to pay legal liability. As long as they work hard, I, as the boss, am definitely not a stingy person, but there is one point, I must resolutely follow my rules to do things, small things don't matter, but copyright sales, you must show me tightly.
At least this year, there is no need to sell any copyrights, after all, the programs I do now have not completely conquered the market, although I am very confident that these programs will reach that point, but others will use these things to talk to us about conditions, and when the time comes, we will sell these copyrights cheaply.
If you want to get the best income, then the benefits of copyright must be maximized, our company is not those lucky small companies, they do not have the ability to resist risks independently, but our company does, so we can't make money for the time being, or continue to add money to the investment, for our company, it is not a big deal. The real big thing is that the copyright should not be sold cheaply, and these are the general direction of our future profits. If anyone gets dizzy, then don't blame me, the boss, for being unsympathetic. Speaking of this, Li Mingbao's tone was quite cold.
It's not that Li Mingbao can't trust the managers of the TV program production company so much, but because the previous managers of this program production company have committed Li Mingbao's taboo on this issue. Originally, when Li Mingbao first established a TV program production company, he made it clear that the copyrights of these programs were not available to sell them privately.
But there is a deputy general manager who took Li Mingbao's words as the wind in his ears, when a British TV station came to buy the copyright before, he actually started serious negotiations with the TV station, and did not take Li Mingbao's words into his eyes at all, although in the end that guy did not give the company any actual losses, but it can be regarded as offending the British TV station. After all, the projects that others have negotiated well are almost about to be signed, but DreamWorks unilaterally interrupted the negotiations, and it would be strange if the TV stations on the other side were not angry about such a thing.
So after knowing about this matter, Li Mingbao is still so serious about this matter even now, that is, I hope Mary can strictly supervise the people on the TV program production company, after all, the membership relationship of these people is very complicated, although Li Mingbao occupies the majority of this company, but it is not his sole proprietorship, whether it is John or Murdoch, in this company, they have the right to speak, the previous deputy general manager is actually the person sent by John, so he doesn't bird Li Mingbao, Do something like that.
Such a complex company, although the initiative is in their own hands, but it is difficult to ensure that some people below can't think of it, and they have to make some troublesome things out, although after they do things, they will definitely be punished by Li Mingbao, but Li Mingbao really doesn't like to grind with these people, he doesn't have so much energy to manage these people, so he can only entrust Mary.
The copyrights of those TV programs can earn countless funds in the future, and now these programs have just become famous, and they have not yet achieved a real sensational effect, even if they are sold, they can't be sold at a good price. As long as Li Mingbao is not stupid, he will not do such an irrational thing.
